Usage

Uses

Used in Explosives and Pyrotechnics Industry:
2,4,7-Trinitrophenanthrenequinone is used as a component in the production of explosives and pyrotechnics due to its high explosive power. However, its use is strictly regulated and restricted in many countries because of the significant health and environmental risks associated with its extreme toxicity and sensitivity to impact and friction.

Effect of the solvent nature and the number of electrophilic substituents in the molecule on hydration of nitro derivatives of phenanthrene-9,10-quinone

Solvates (1 : 2) of 10,10-dihydroxy-2,4,7-trinitro-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-one with DMSO and of 10,10-dihydroxy-2,7-dinitro-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-one with HMPA were prepared. The crystal structure of 2,5-dinitrophenanthrene-9,10-quinone was established. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy of a series of mono-, di-, and trinitro derivatives of phenanthrene-9,10-quinone demonstrated that the ability of carbonyl groups to participate in nucleophilic addition of water increases as the number of nitro groups in substituted phenanthrene-9,10-quinone increases. The nature of the solvent (HMPA, DMF, or DMSO) affects hydration of phenanthrenequinones primarily due to the difference in the strength of intermolecular hydrogen bonds stabilizing di- and tetrahydroxydihydrophenanthrenes.
